A group of boys are seen kicking a boy lying curled up on the ground. Two boys jump into the air and crash down on the teen's left side.

"There's some hatred in there, I mean, they beat him, they maliciously beat him. I mean, it's just uncalled for... I mean you never envision your child, being so helpless, and you can't do anything," said the boy's father, Rodney Kim Sr.

Friday afternoon, the freshman's parents got a call that he'd been hurt at practice. Before taking him to the hospital, they quickly figured out what happened. Kim has a busted lip, bruises and a broken arm. He had surgery on his arm on Wednesday.
